St. Simon 3 - The Accidental Comedian lyrics

If you want to hit the punchlines right And know 'em dead night after night There's one thing of which you can be sure Nothing's as funny as failure This joke has only begun: The accidental comedian You can fall on your face time and time again That joke has been funny since I don't know when And when you're down, just don't forget No one has ever died laughing yet This joke has only begun: The accidental comedian You can live as a flavor of the week Being a jacka** joker on a good luck streak But from the inside it looks different When you know the truth is that you are Only funny by accident You know that it cannot be denied There is a love that only the spotlight can provide There are no rules left to follow And there is no pride left to swallow So get up there and do what you should And don't get too smart for your own good This joke has only begun The accidental comedian
